Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:45:38 +0000

We haven't seen very much from FX's summer offering 'The Bridge,' adapting the Danish/Swedish drama of the same name, apart from the eerie 'No Country For Old Men'-style teasers.

Seth Rogen and FX Producing Animated 'Bigfoot' Comedy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:00:25 +0000

FX has had a difficult time getting animated comedies off the ground apart from 'Archer,' as their most recent effort 'Unsupervised' floundered in both ratings and reviews, but their latest project should have none of those troubles. 'This is the End' funnyman Seth Rogen has partnered with FX and Evan Goldberg to bring to life an animated comedy based on the works of Graham Roumieu's faux autobiographical Bigfoot book 'In Me Own Words, Me Write Book,' but will FX capture that ever-elusive animated success?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:29:34 +0000

'American Horror Story: Asylum' may have come and gone following season finale "Madness Ends," but that hasn't stopped fans of the FX horror series from obsessing on one lingering point: just what was up with the mysterious aliens permeating the season? Not only did the science-fiction creatures remain unexplained, seeming oddly out of place with a season that chronicled religion, madness and mutilation, but the beings were never fully glimpsed on screen. However, new concept art reveals the full extent of the seemingly benevolent creatures' design, so get a look at the 'American Horror Story: Asylum' extraterrestrials inside!

Charlie Sheen Invites Angus T. Jones to Join 'Anger Management'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:00:01 +0000

It's the story that just keeps giving! Like we mentioned yesterday when disgraced 'Two and a Half Men' and current 'Anger Management' star Charlie Sheen offered yet another comment on 'Men' star Angus T. Jones' religious-fueled "Filth" rant against the CBS sitcom, it's unlikely Jones will risk rocking the boat any further. However, Sheen now hopes to coerce the young star to ~~join the dark side~~ leave 'Men' behind as he once did, and join him on 'Anger Management!' Would Jones accept the offer?

'Anger Management' Season 2: Cee-Lo Green To Appear As…

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:45:57 +0000

Man, who'd have thought that leaving behind 'Two and a Half Men' would be the smartest thing Charlie Sheen ever did? While the tenth (and likely final) season of CBS' monster hit continues imploding off-screen with star Angus T. Jones' religious rant, former lead Charlie Sheen is sitting pretty with 'Anger Management.' Not only did FX pick up the Charlie Sheen comedy for an additional 90 episodes to follow the first season, but music superstar and 'The Voice' judge Cee Lo Green has signed on for an appearance! But...as whom?

But with the highly-anticipated and heavily-watched premiere of 'American Horror Story: Asylum' last week, it was a good time to get the ball rolling on promoting the fourth season of 'Justified,' don't you think?

Well, gee willickers, there's a surprise. We're just hours from the season 2 premiere of 'American Horror Story,' as the Emmy-winning horror serial heads back to the year 1964 for the brand-new tale of 'American Horror Story: Asylum.'

But, who will the former Dr. Harmon play this time around?

Very sad news to report this morning, particularly sad for fans of FX's motorcycle drama 'Sons of Anarchy,' as we've just learned that one-time series star Johnny Lewis has died under somewhat mysterious circumstances.

'American Horror Story: Asylum' Picks Up 2012 Emmy Winner Eric Stonestreet…Again

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:39:15 +0000

Boy, it sure is good to be in the cast of 'Modern Family' about now. Though not quite as sweeping as 'Homeland's' Emmy victories last night, ABC's powerhouse comedy took home quite a few bits of gold itself, including the first and last awards for the night for both Eric Stonestreet as Supporting Actor and for Comedy Series overall. And even though 'American Horror Story' wasn't a huge winner as a whole, what better way than to borrow its best supporting man, just like the first season?
